Trimensional for iPhone [App Of The Day]

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 03:24 PM PDT

3D? Terribly lame when it's tossed into devices as a bullet point feature. Making stuff in 3D yourself? Almost always cooler than you think. Trimensional for iPhone takes a picture of your face and maps your mug in a 3D model. You wouldn't think it but it's kinda creepy seeing your face in 3D. More »


Google Loses Bedrock Suit, All Linux May Infringe

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 03:22 PM PDT

blair1q writes "CNet reports that Google has lost the lawsuit brought by Bedrock, for infringing on Patent 5,893,120, 'Methods and apparatus for information storage and retrieval using a hashing technique with external chaining and on-the-fly removal of expired data,' and has exposed the Linux kernel, in which the infringing code reportedly appears, to liability for patent-license fees. Red Hat also participated in the suit, arguing that the patent was invalid, but the court decided otherwise."

Let's Talk About Smartphones and Puke Everywhere While Doing Barrel Rolls in a Stunt Plane [Video]

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 03:20 PM PDT

There's lots of good info in this video about the Samsung Galaxy S II, I'm sure. But honestly, watching TheNextWeb's Matt Brien attempting to talk about the phone's finer features while a stunt pilot rolls, flips and dives is far more entertaining than any phone could ever be. That goes double when it involves blowing chunks. More »

Apple Stores stocking Square credit card readers

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 03:02 PM PDT



Jack Dorsey's über-popular credit card readers got a big thumbs-up from Cupertino this week. Square's devices are hitting Apple's 235 US retail locations and Apple.com for $9.95 a pop -- plus the 2.75 percent that the startup takes off the backend each time you use the reader -- or you can always just sign up for a free one over on Square's site. The iPhone / iPad / iPod touch plug-in accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and yes, even American Express. The CEO of VeriFone will no doubt have plenty to say about the matter.

Update: It turns out you get a $10 redemption code in the box when you buy a Square reader at an Apple store, so it is still technically free (just not, you know, when you buy it).

[Thanks, Michael]
